- oni Just spent a good deal of time and effort writing a carefully curated educated professional experience response balanced with facts and personal experience and balanced opinion, in response to a short write-up about highway drivers going far too slow in the left "passing" lane . I don't know if i was typing too quickly and tapped the wrong key or what happened but BLIP! BLANK SCREEN. All gone and so for now, that I've been foregoing peoperty maintenance responsibilities to write that and it's all gone and I've accomplisged nothing but wasting 90 min of a perfectly lovely chamber of commerce day. . Now its time to stand up and get busy hands on doing. some front yard cleanup, finish my gravity fed "shower tower" in the backyard, some fence repair and go from therereally dissapointed. This sucks. Very frustrating. Oh well. I'll be back 🤪byKattz Korner...
I hear your frustration, and am sorry you experienced the stress of loosing a reply mid-way through. New platforms always have a period of time where glitches are being worked through as they are discovered. Today is my first day on Uptrust so I am learning. But my point is..... - Mcnapier...
- onHi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation and had an 80% blockage angioplastied. Last year I had my first battery replacement. I am married and my husband has 1 year of retirement in. We have 2 adult sons. The oldest is married and is a step dad. The youngest is not married yet. My parents are deceased and I have no siblings. My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, right from my birth. I enjoy camping, gardening (though I am not a green thumb), family and my Chihuahua/ beagle, Snoopy. I am a person full of life experience contrast, one beingcontrasts such as being spiritual yet not church going. I hope my experiences can help others. 😀byMinnie...
Sorry to hear your family is a problem. The Bible reminds us that this will continue to get worse for believers in Christ and what he did for us all. Jesus knows how we are feeling. We must stay the course and keep the faith.... - Sassiebrat67...

Life's not a competition. Encourage someone today, cheer on their wins, and let people chase their own dreams in their own time. There's room for everyone to win amen. i see this as a hard won wisdom, but it seems to come easily from you.... - chauncedog60...
Great post, great picture, compelling story! I wish the best for you and your new family, congrats on that! Like me, you sound like the kind of person that never lets what you don't have get in your way!... - Renay...
